A series of short stories about the horrors of the material world, the fear of the unknown, and a general glimpse of the fragility of the human psyche. Witness the tales of several people as they face adversaries beyond human comprehension. Where does the monster truly lies: inside or outside? If two worlds collide, both will reign in each other's chaos. Do you place your trust in your own understanding of the world? Welcome dear visitor, welcome to a spectacle you never know of. ---- "And then I saw it. Taking his phone is not a wise decision after all. Even my jaw dropped and my brows furrowed after seeing it. I understand. The hasty beating of my heart fills my body with unfathomable chill because I completely understand now." - a short excerpt from Vol. 1, A Serenade for the Innocent

The Pale Envoy of Hope and His White Rosary

"Before we go..." I said as I gripped the object I have inside of the pocket of my cassock. "... I want one of you to have this treasured property of mine before the inevitable sacrifice I will soon make at the end of this dungeon."

The four people in front of me then looked at me when my voice echoed slowly through this dam cobblestone hallway. The echoing sound of the water droplets hitting the floor had invaded the silence that ensued once I spoke those words. I then gulped the saliva into my throat as I slowly unveiled what I had kept hidden inside of my pocket.

"W-what is that?" The silver man said as he pointed his fingers at the shining beads running through my pale hands.

"A rosary?" The policeman uttered slowly as he looked at the Orthodox Christian cross at the end of the beads.

"It's beautiful!" The nurse exclaimed while looking at the brilliantly white color of the object as I wrapped it around my equally pale wrist.
